With the next school year starting, it is time for all those interested in participating in Cub Scouts to find a home. Luckily, Hampton Township has two local packs for Cub Scouts to choose from. Both offer great programs for young boys to learn important life lessons, build friendships, experience new adventures and start the path to Eagle Scout. Pack 13 meets on Monday evenings at Parkwood Presbyterian on Mount Royal Boulevard, and Pack 195 meets on Tuesdays nights at St. Catherines of Sweden Church off Vitullo Drive by the Wildwood Post Office. The program year starts in September and ends in May with summer activities abounding. Pack 13 had its most recent meeting on Sept. 11, at Parkwood Presbyterian.
